Yeah. I'd like a manga where the main character is the bad guy. preferably something where the main character starts off good, or something so that your sympathies at least start off with them.

Something like Death Note would be good, because even though the main character was evil, the story was still all about him. Though more romance would be nice.

Or even something like Flowers of Evil, where
Spoiler (highlight to view)
the guy starts off being the sympathetic character and his sister is portrayed as a psychopath, but then you find out that he's actually the crazy obsessed one


Sorry if there's already a post like this.

Edit: Also, something like Kuroshitsuji would work, where the main character isn't necessarily evil, but his morals have been corrupted.

You could try the Antihero category.
Code Breaker
and maybe Ubel Blatt

I think the male MC of Shin Angyo Onshi is somewhat like this. And one of the two brothers in Sidooh as well.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far! I'm going to check Code Geass first, since I've been hearing about it for awhile. Any other suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated.

check out the anime too, the manga and anime differ some. I'm generally always manga or nothing but not in this case.

Can I say that I kinda disagree with Shin Angyo Onshi and Ubel Blatt?

They're both questionable too but I'd suggest:
Vinland Saga
Elfen Lied if with "guy" you just meant "person" and not a male.
I second Code Geass, but I'll say he's more like what you added in your edit.

Mirai Nikki starts off with a rather cowardly protagonist - and a sympathetic mad bomber type of character smile - in a last-man-standing game where the prize is divinity.

Said protagonist eventually
Spoiler (highlight to view)
see's his parents killed in front of him, and throws his lot in whole-heartedly into the game to become god and revive his parents... as well as the pile of bodies he had to climb to become God.


EDIT: There is also a... uh.... romance of sorts, between the MC and Yuno Gasai

I could add different links to each letter of that name, but I won't. You'll find them anyway smile It's that kind of place. smile


...Sorry. Back on topic, earlier noted Mad Bomber also develops a relationship with someone.

AIKI - Main character has corrupted morals. xD
Kyou kara Ore wa - Mitsuhashi is very evil, brilliant manga for laughs.
I second Kurosagi, though lately it has become a bit too repetitive.
Holyland - I think it fits, although he stays good, he sometimes snaps.
Akumetsu - BRILLIANT manga, you can say that the evilness of akumetsu is close to the evilness of Kira, however, he isn't going SO over the top. wink
Zippy Ziggy - he's SO CORRUPT, OWMYGODZ
Ichi the Killer - brutal manga, with not evil but certainly wicked main character.
Alive! - well, the main character killed his family ^^
Code Breaker - evil in a way of Akumetsu and Kira

Here ya go, seems we like similar things. bigrazz

This looks perfect.

Whoa. This is not what I was looking for, but it sounds really awesome. I'll have to check it out.smile

@blackanal17, I've already read Until Death Do Us Part. Thanks, though.
